U gotta read it in context man, I said if the canucks really want boothy to succeed, then put him with the sedins. Let him sink or swim, let's give him every opportunity to see if he can contribute to the team. I'm still for it actually. Honestly, even though I'm not a Booth fan, I do want to see him do well and I would luv to be wrong. I actually have a weak spot for jesus freaks, I used to be one of them.

I also said I wanted to see Sestito with the sedins. Lines change all the time, someone posted the starting lineup, I posted a lineup I thought that might be good for the highlighted game. What's the big deal?

Funny you mention that, but he looked pretty good out there (with a little help from the Canucks' cruddy play perhaps). Perhaps worth a gamble depending on the price, but it is to wonder where he'd fit. Regardless, with that size and work ethic, no doubt the team could use him - at the right price.

Didn't watch the game so my urinary track hasn't ruptured like BTK's... but can't help but wonder:

Alex Burrows is on pace for 70GP 0G 19A -38 for $4.5MDavid Booth is on pace for 72GP 6G 11A +17 for $4.25M

David Booth might be an overpaid, under-performing piece of shit... but what does that make Burrows' right now? Posts and effort count for a little bit, but as far as I'm concerned those are excuses. Both of these guys are paid to score goals and provide secondary offence. $9.75M for a combined 36 point pace is utter trash.

Hoo-boy, that was awful! Thank God the Saints are on Thursday Night Football this week so I can watch one of my teams play well this week…

The Canucks all look like they just watched their dog get run over by a truck. They look afraid to lose, rather than hungry to win. All those good outings with lackluster results may have worn on them.

I think they are beyond frustrated right now. I think they are doing a lot of good things, although that third period last night was beyond awful, but simply have not been getting rewarded. While they are not doing enough to get chances from the middle of the ice, they can’t continue to shoot at 5% forever.

I have to laugh that the team finally gets healthy and all of a sudden any urgency is gone.

For a relatively fast team, boy do the Canucks look slow. Everything is slow and deliberate. The Panthers by comparison moved the puck quickly.
